Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,400. View details	Realized $1,380
Lot 4179		1908 $20 St. Gaudens. No motto. PCGS graded MS-66.

Lot 4188		1911 $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-63. A scarce date to locate, nearly impossible to find in full gem condition or better (PCGS has only graded 21 in MS-65 or higher), making this choice coin all the more desirable. Scattered bagmarks on both sides and with abundant luster. Estimated Value $800 - 1,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,208
Lot 4189		1911-D $20 St. Gaudens. NGC graded MS-65. Mint luster and well struck, there are some scuffs on Liberty. Scarcer than many dates, especially in gem condition. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,100. View details	Unsold
Lot 4190		1911-D $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-64 Premium Quality. Satiny surfaces that boast mint-fresh luster and clean devices. We suspect this coin may be resubmitted for a higher grade, as the surfaces are very nice and Liberty's face does not show the usual heavy stacking marks usually seen on these. Estimated Value $400 - 500. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 4191		1913-S $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-63. A nice example of this scarce date, nice choice surfaces with frosty luster and only moderate handling marks. Estimated Value $2,200 - 2,500. View details	Realized $2,703
Lot 4192		1914-D $20 St. Gaudens. NGC graded MS-65. This gem has golden toning around the periphery and blazing luster throughout. Excellent fields and devices which show precious few handling marks, keeping it in the gem class. Only 3 coins graded higher by NGC, so don't waste time looking for a better one. Estimated Value $1,700 - 2,000. View details	Realized $1,668
Lot 4193		1914-D $20 St. Gaudens. NGC graded MS-65. Another lovely gem of this date, light golden toning around the periphery and well preserved. Estimated Value $1,700 - 2,000. View details	Realized $2,070
Lot 4194		1922 $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-61. Standard bag quality. Estimated Value $300 - 330. View details	Realized $345
Lot 4195		1922-S $20 St. Gaudens. NGC graded MS-63. Although the original mintage was large, over 2,600,000, most were melted or circulated. Few remain in mint state for date collectors. We doubt if 1,000 exist today in various grades of mint state. Rather heavy polishing lines in the reverse die at the periphery. Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,400. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,380

Lot 4203		1926-D. PCGS graded MS-65. This is one of the key dates to find in Mint State of the St. Gaudens series of double eagles. Mintage dropped to 481,000 for the year, virtually all of which circulated. A few turned up in Swiss banks, but not enough to go around. Turning to the rarity in gem, this coin is virtually unknown in this condition. Only 1 has been graded by PCGS, with 2 coins graded higher! Furthermore NGC hasn't graded any higher than MS-64. The color of this coin is spectacular, with greenish gold luster at the extreme edge, and coppery luster at the centers. The strike is sharp, and we note no weakness on either side. There is one hidden scrape down the 9 of the date into the devices below, but a glass is needed to see it. One of the most desirable double eagles in full gem condition, and worthy of the finest set. Estimated Value $50,000 - 75,000. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 4204		1927 $20 St. Gaudens. MS-63. A beautiful example of this hoard date. Estimated Value $300 - 350. View details	Realized $460
